Biography
Anthony Comello was born in Brick Township, Ocean County, New Jersey in 1995. He came from a Catholic Italian-American family, and he was a supporter of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his ultranationalist views. During the 2010s, he began to date a female relative of Frank Cali, the acting boss of the Gambino crime family, and, in 2019, Cali warned Comello to stay away from her. Comello became paranoid due to his fear that Cali owned a gun, and, on 13 March 2019, he decided to kill Cali at his home at Todt Hill, Staten Island. He lured Cali out of his home by bumping into his pickup truck into Cali's Escalade, and he then rang Cali's doorbell to report the incident. Comello brought Cali his car's license plate to help with the report, and he then shot him with a pistol before backing over him with his pickup truck. Comello's fingerprints were later found on the license plate, and he was arrested at his home in Brick Township, appearing in court on 18 March 2019. In court, he scribbled "MAGA" and other Trump-supportive sayings on his hand before holding it up to the judge.
